I want to show you how I made my bathroom more organized by using different Ikea parts making an All-In-One bathroom furniture.

My bathroom was terribly organized,a shower in the corner, washer/tumble dryer in the other corner and a faucet/sink with a mirror in between.

I’d like to keep the room tidy with a minimalistic touch, so I planned to integrate most of the bathroom accessorize on one side of the bathroom, problem was the big washer/tumble dryer which always seemed to be in the way..

Then I came up with the idea to hide it in a cabinet or something like that… unfortunately the machinery is large, heavy, and they also move/vibrates, so I couldn’t manage to find any suitable cabinets to solve my problem. I needed to make it myself, so I went to ikea to fix it!

I bought 3 Ikea “Personlig/Personal” Countertops, in the double sized thickness (8cm), normal countertops are 4.cm. The “Personlig/Personal?” counter tops can be ordered in which size you want, the European washer/tumble dry are deeper than the original standard countertop size 62 cm, and the doors had to be shut properly so I ordered 70cm depth/220cm length.

I think you should visit your local IKEA, and ask them, i went to the kitchen section at my local IKEA in Oslo/Norway. They should have the same options worldwide, the thickness is double of normal. Approximately 7.8 cm;)

My Swiss friend just returned from a 3 months trip in the UK. She described the bathrooms in general as: “Zum Heulen”. Showers that only dribbled water, controls that stuck at either too hot or too cold, fogged up windows and mirrors due to nonexistent ventilation, and even newly installed faucets often dripped and had separate handles for hot and cold water etc.

Hi there, i guess you have to go to the kitchen section at your local Ikea store, since they are made upon your request, they can not be ordered online. They have many different colors, or straigt wood. I ordered glossy wite, with double thikcness, standard is 3.8cm this is 7.8cm. For the 3 parts needed i paid about 1200$ in Norway, but here everything is expensive, so i bet it is cheaper in the us.Standard 3.8cm thickness was half the price. It was 6 weeks delivery/production time.

Very nice looking indeed! I am curious about service access to the washer and dryer, though. Is the toe kick piece easy to take off, and can they then be slid out? Or will you have to disassemble the whole setup to fix or replace them?

Hi There, service acess no problem, i installed washer/dryer after setting it all up. If you see on the last picture, on left side of the door to the left, i installed a list to fill in the gap between the door and the sidewall, also to make the door stop in right angle. This because the washer is a bit broader than the door wich is 60cm. It`s fastened by 3 screws, same on the the door to the rigt. The socket list is fastened to the legs of the center section with clips, just to pull out. Electric plug is behind center section, so it should not be any problem!

Well done! I do wonder about the ventilation though. Especially the washing machine can be very wet on the inside and I have to leave the door of the washing machine a little ajar to let it dry. Is that still possible in your case (without leaving the doors of the cabinet open)?

Hello, it`s hard too see from the picture posted, but there are mounted 2 plastic air vents, in the socket list, just beneath each machine. It`s the same provided with Ikea refrigirators and to solve any air circulation problems. I have also installed 0.5cm plastic puttons under the construction, since it is a bathroom and there is often water on the floor, to reduce risk of water getting in to the construction and ruin the wood panels. This also gives a minor gap which let the air flow out. When it comes to the lid on the washer/dryer it`is room for the lid to be a bit open, eventually if thinking of building one, you can increase depth from 70cm to 73cm to get a bit more room..(of course necessary depth could vary according to different measurments of washer/dreyer machines. I have the latest model of Bosch)
